– Simple large size handbag realisation: pattern making from £150, prototype making from £200

HOW THE PROTOTYPING AND PRODUCTION SERVICES WORK:

Before starting a project we have a free initial consultation in order to discuss all the details.

According to the project features, we might need to create a mock-up, an initial sample and a final prototype. Some simpler projects can avoid going through the mock-up and sampling process and go straight to prototyping.

At the end of each stage, meetings to review the work are organised. On these occasions it is possible to amend the work if needed (an extra fee may be charged if the alterations required differ from the original plan).

The work can be either sent to you (customers pay the delivery costs) or you can collect it at our studio.

Through the studio, we ensure open and honest communication during the whole process and we are happy to arrange viewings during the development of the project.

PROTOTYPING LEAD TIME:

Once all the materials are received and all the details discussed, we usually deliver the sample(s) in 2-4 weeks dependent upon our workload at the time.

A precise date for the completion of the work will be given once we have all the information about the project and we agree on all terms.

PRODUCTION LEAD TIME:

Depending on the quantity and complexity of the product(s), lead times can vary, although we are usually able to start production within 4 to 6 weeks.

A precise timing of the completion of the work will be given once we have a date on when all materials would be delivered to us and after the payment of the deposit is made.

DEPOSIT AND PAYMENTS:

Once an agreement on lead time, quantities and price is reached, we require a deposit of 50% of the total price of any service to be paid upfront in order for us to commit to any work. It can be paid either at our studio (card or cash) or by bank transfer (within 48 hours from when the invoice is received).

If your project includes both the prototype and the production starting immediately after, the deposit is required for both. This is because we need to make sure we will be available when starting the production and we might have to decline taking on other projects. Basically, we work on a first comes first basis, defined by the payment of the deposit.

If you prefer not to pay for the production deposit in advance, then we won’t be able to confirm to you that we will be available when needed, but we will, of course, do our best to assist you when the time comes.

Once the project is finished, the remaining payment is due before delivery of the work.

PRODUCTION PRICING:

For a production of over 100 pieces of the same style, we will apply a 20% discount for each piece.

For a production of 51-100 pieces of the same style, we will apply a 10% discount for each piece.

For a production of 11-50 pieces of the same style, we will apply a 5% discount for each piece.

The discount refers to items which are of the same style, material, colours and size.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: ABOUT OUR PROTOTYPING & PRODUCTION SERVICES

Prices could increase from time to time.

Once a quote is issued, the quoted price remains valid for 4 weeks. After this period of time, a new quote will have to be generated or the previous one will have to be re-confirmed by us.

We don’t start or deliver any work before having received the agreed payment due.

If we have not received the deposit within 48 hours of receipt of the invoice, we will assume the work is not intended to be carried out. In this circumstance, we will remove the planned dedicated time from our diary.

Having only just recently started my own experimenting with leather, my visit to Sara and Melissa's studio was perfect. Sara was a very attentive and engaging teacher who was more than happy to answer all my questions. It was highly useful to see a leather workshop with my own eyes to appreciate the skill and artistry involved. In the 4 hours I was there we covered many of the basics of leathercraft and best practice. I also had the chance to learn and use the sewing machines. It's been worthwhile and I think these workshops would be invaluable for anyone wanting to learn how to create with leather. Many thanks Sara and Melissa (and Juno)! Read Less
